This problem also occurs with this body:

<body>
<div id="foo"></div>
<div>content</div>
</body>

Ok tried this for a while, couldn't find a consistent response.

But I think divs are one of those elements that don't like to be empty like that.

I think that if you use <div> </div> you'll get less trouble.

Still.. I'm not giving a solution.. so this remains opened.

This is a CSS/rendering issue in IE. For example, if you make the body font-size smaller the resulting height of the empty div will also be smaller. If you zero out the height, font-size, and line-height for the div you'd get the correct results.
